Navana is located near Maroantsetra in the Antongil Bay of Antongila (also called Helodranon' Helodrano Antongila) on the north east coast of Madagascar. Navana is a traditional [[Betsimisaraka]] village. Its inhabitants live from cultivating rice and fishing.<!--Helodranon' Antongila (Bay of Antongila), more commonly called Antongil Bay-->

Navana is the last accessible village by boat before heading into the nature direction [[Antalaha]]. Starting in [[Maroantsetra]], it is also possible to reach Navana by foot or even bicycle. After a 90-minute pleasant pirogue ride along small streams and canals one arrives in [[Andranofotsy]]. From thereon a good foot path named <i>Route National 5</i> follows the coastline of the bay with nice views onto [[Nosy Mangabe]]. Thereafter the path diverts into the native forest, passing the private <i>[[Park Tropical de Farankaraina]]</i>, home to of the rare Aye-eye lemur. The walk from Andranofotsy to Navana takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
